Wester Kames Castle, Category A listed castle in Port Bannatyne, Scotland
The four-story tower structure stands with a five-story stair tower at the northwest corner, measuring 25 by 21 feet in total dimensions.
The original tower house from 1700 fell into ruins by 1895, when only the ground floor remained as part of the Marquess of Bute's estate.
Architect Robert Weir Schultz executed a precise restoration in 1897, creating a tower that exemplifies Scottish Baronial architecture of that period.
The junction between the original structure and the nineteenth-century reconstruction remains visible through a distinctive line of brickwork in the facade.
The castle's location near Kames Bay provides views of the Firth of Clyde, with another historical fortification, Kames Castle, standing 500 meters south.
